Astris AI for Government launches a turnkey, secure AI stack for agencies

Astris AI, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), has launched Astris AI for Government™-a full-stack AI platform built for high-assurance use cases. In collaboration with Oracle, NVIDIA, and Meta, the initiative backs America's AI Action Plan and supports missions such as the Genesis Mission with integrated AI from the cloud to the edge.

The pitch is simple: unify best-in-class tech, reduce procurement friction, and keep sensitive data protected while you deploy mission-ready AI. The platform aims to remove vendor lock-in and complex integration, so teams can move from pilots to production with fewer blockers.

Why it matters for government leaders

Agencies need secure AI that respects data locality, scales on demand, and fits into existing acquisition paths. Astris AI for Government brings those pieces together-cloud, on-prem, and edge-under a single ecosystem so you can build, deploy, and sustain trusted AI with speed and control.

For programs under tight timelines, the combination of MLOps, generative AI pipelines, and domain expertise reduces the lift required to stand up production-grade systems. That means less time stitching tools and more time shipping outcomes.

What the platform delivers today

  • Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's secure U.S. network for unclassified and classified regions, enabling sovereign cloud operations aligned with national security interests
  • Lockheed Martin engineering and domain expertise for high-assurance missions
  • Open-source AI models from Meta
  • Government-ready NVIDIA AI Enterprise software via Astris AI for Government, including NVIDIA NIM microservices
  • Astris AI Factory MLOps and Generative AI platform capabilities

Astris AI for Government solutions are available now via Astris AI, Oracle Marketplace, and commercial federal procurement vehicles. Initial offerings include the Astris AI Government platform on OCI with GenAI and MLOps bundles accelerated by NVIDIA AI Enterprise, including NVIDIA NIM.

Operational use cases

  • On-site processing for mission-critical data that never leaves the network, delivering real-time insights through auditable MLOps and GenAI pipelines
  • Wildfire response: fuse multi-source sensor data to give first responders actionable intelligence faster
  • Energy and critical infrastructure protection with secure analytics at the edge and in sovereign cloud regions
  • Genesis Mission support through simulation and AI-driven analysis
  • Advanced manufacturing and supply chain optimization across federal programs

What's next: PEARL™

Joint teams are building the next phase: PEARL™ (Persistent Environment for AI, Readiness, and Learning), a large-scale AI and simulation environment. With secure infrastructure, simulation and visualization software, and GPU-accelerated computing, PEARL is expected to advance operations analysis, domain-specific models, AI test and evaluation, and simulation-to-real integration.

How to move from interest to implementation

  • Map data classes and choose a deployment topology-sovereign cloud, on-prem, edge-that keeps sensitive workloads on-network
  • Stand up end-to-end MLOps with model registries, versioning, audit trails, and red-teaming for GenAI
  • Plan interagency data fusion with role-based access, encryption in transit/at rest, and immutable logs
  • Build test-and-evaluate gates for safety, bias, and performance before promoting models to production
  • Leverage existing procurement vehicles and avoid single-vendor lock-in by using open models and modular services
